110 Learning Journal #4

My goal for week 4 and 5 is the following:

  1. learn some Korean Culture, more specifically holiday culture.
  2. learn some simple conversations during the holidays, like greetings.
  3. learn some simple slang words in daily life.

My resource:

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgqwLXpJ8yg (Christimas)
  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T3L6Ufk2iI (Pepero Day)
  3. Easy Korean Series 286
  • The first video I found interesting, since it does not only talk about the Korean culture on Christmas but also teach me to learn some simple dialog in everyday life. Like "where are you heading to?" Also there are two ways to say "Christmas", the first one sounds like English and the second one sounds like Chinese, (Actually it means the same in Chinese as well.)
  • The second video entertained me a lot. i never thought 11/11 is a festival for snacks. In China it is a holiday for singles. And single people go shopping crazy on that day.:)
  • The last one I found is very useful in everyday like. Being able to say "you are cool." lol

Evaluation:

  • It is hard to evaluate my achievement without a language partner. I will try to ask my Korean friends for her suggestions and will replay the artifact to myself. Though I cannot speak well, but I can hear the difference, hopefully.
